Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
An entertaining, occasionally illuminating autodocumentary.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
For a film devoted to celebrating intimacy and the breaking down of emotional barriers, Pop and Me is oddly withholding of information about the travelers.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
A documentary made with rigor, humor and no small amount of honest emotion.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
The film quickly becomes a vortex of father-son bonding and rivalry, and what could have been a mere travelogue becomes a bumpy exploration of male identity and communication.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Kimberley Jones
Everybody likes to watch the messy guts-stuff of other peoples' lives, if only because we know then we're not alone in our weird ways.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
Lots of men cry lots of tears in this supremely self-indulgent, supremely moving documentary about making a documentary.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
The ultimate shallowness of this film is reflected in the fact that their key bonding moment occurs when they bungee-jump off a bridge together.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Amy Taubin
The most revelatory moment is provided not by the spectacle of the Roes clinging to each other on a bungee cord, but by Julian Lennon, who pops up on the beach in Monaco to give a terse evaluation of his father.
Read Full Review >New York Post Hanna Brown
A self-indulgent chronicle of Chris Roe's whiny power struggle with his father over where to eat dinner in various exotic locales.
